My eyes....my eyes. MU winning streak over, sets new record for futility on offense set in 1948

The 35 points scored at home was a record low during the shot clock era for Marquette.&nbsp; The only performance that rivaled it was last year's NCAA loss to Syracuse when MU managed to score 38, but that was on a neutral court site.&nbsp;&nbsp; The last time MU scored fewer than 36 points at home was in 1948 when MU lost at home to Wisconsin and managed only&nbsp; 34 points..
